    Abstract:

    In order to develop a scale-up and continuous preparation method, the microchannel crystallization technology based on solvent/non-solvent method has been used to prepare hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane/octogen (CL-20/HMX) co-crystal. The field emission scanning electron microanalyzer (FE-SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal analysis and sensitivity test were applied to characterize and analyze the morphology, structure, thermal performance and sensitivity of samples. Results show that this method has successfully prepared CL-20/HMX co-crystal. Its apparent morphology is the flower clusters with a diameter of 20-30 μm, assembled by platelet crystals with thickness of 200-600 nm, accompanying individual flaky crystals (thickness of 200-600 nm). The CL-20/HMX co-crystal prepared by microchannal crystallization has only one sharp exothermic decomposition peak during the exothermic process. Its exothermic peak temperature is at 243.4 ℃, which is lower than that of the raw materials CL-20 (250.2 ℃) and HMX (284.7 ℃). Its temperature range of thermal decomposition is only from 242.7 to 246.0 ℃, much narrower than those of raw CL-20 (230.0-254.6 ℃) and HMX (281.0-290.7 ℃), which means a higher energy release efficiency. Its apparent active energy is 470.75 kJ·mol-1,falling between CL-20 (175.04 kJ·mol-1) and HMX (481.45 kJ·mol-1), which is 297.29 kJ·mol-1 hagher than that of raw CL-20,indicating a good thermal stability. Its impact sensitivity is 18 J, which is 8 J and 3.6 J higher than those of raw CL-20 (10 J) and HMX (14.4 J) respectively, and the friction sensitivity is 20% lower than that of raw CL-20. The sensitivity results show the safety of the CL-20/HMX co-crystal has been improved compared with the raw materials.
